The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is one of Singapore’s top cultural attractions. Set along the Singapore River at Empress Place, ACM’s grand colonial architecture is part of its appeal.
The museum showcases the many Asian cultures that have shaped Singapore’s identity. Visitors can explore galleries filled with treasures from China, Southeast Asia, India, and the Islamic world. You’ll see ancient ceramics, gold jewellery, textiles, religious statues, and even rare website shipwreck finds.
A must-see is the Tang Shipwreck collection, featuring artefacts from a centuries-old sunken ship. There are also special sections on religion, ancient trade routes, and daily life in Asian civilisations.
ACM often hosts special exhibitions featuring rare artefacts from international museums or private collections. Families and school groups enjoy interactive workshops, guided tours, and cultural festivals held at ACM.
Its spot by the river makes it easy to combine a visit with dining or sightseeing at Boat Quay or Clarke Quay.
With its fascinating galleries and central location, ACM is a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand Singapore’s multicultural roots and Asia’s shared heritage.
